Conditions
Brief summary
Introduction Patients who receive care from stroke units are more likely to survive their stroke, become independent, and return home. Decision-making to decide the location of discharge is influenced more by non-clinical factors than clinical ones. Objective To analyze the factors that are considered for discharge and how stroke patients are measured in stroke units in Argentina by the physicians who make the decisions. Materials and methods An observational, analytical, cross-sectional survey-type study will be carried out. The recommendations given by the Checklist for Reporting of Survey Studies will be used. It will be intended for all those physicians in Argentina who work in stroke units and discharge.
